• Kropp is one of just two players (with Kerri Walsh) to average at least 1.1 blocks per game in each of the last two seasons (2007-08).
• In just her second year full-time on the AVP Tour (2008), Kropp had just one tournament below ninth place.

2008: Kropp began playing with Nancy Mason, and they compiled nine finishes of seventh or better, including a third-place in Atlanta. The duo ended the season as the eighth-ranked team on the AVP Tour. Kropp was third in blocks per game (1.13) and fifth in kills per game (7.01).
2007: Prior to the season Kropp trained with Jenny Pavley and Heather Lowe. She began the season with a pair of tournaments with Julie Romias, and advanced to the main draw in both, finishing 17th and then 13th. She then changed partners to Pavley and placed 13th in six straight events before her breakout event in Chicago. Kropp and Pavley finished third after defeating four teams seeded in the top 10. In the four events following, they had a best of ninth, and Kropp earned the AVP Rookie of the Year award. Kropp ended the season third in blocks per game (1.15).
2006: Kropp played in two qualifiers in 2006, but did not advance to the main draw in either one.

Hot Winter Nights: Kropp played in three events during the 2008 HWN season, beginning with an event near her college town in Omaha. Kropp won that event as well as the next one in Rosedale, as she tallied two wins in her three events. She repeated the feat in 2009, winning two of her three HWN events, claiming the title in Minneapolis and Cedar Falls.

Personal: Kropp was a middle blocker on Nebraska's undefeated team of 2000, with her coach labeling her the "heart of the team." She was a second-team All-American in 2001 as a senior, and twice was a first-team all-Region selection. She was fifth on the Nebraska career block charts, and stepped up her play in the postseason, with a 1.47 block per game average as well as a .340 hitting percentage in the NCAA Tournament. Following graduation from NU, she played professionally in Puerto Rico. She began playing volleyball when she was in seventh grade.
